Only two days left to Columbus Day, a holiday that always raises controversy between those who celebrate the holiday and those say it should NOT be celebrated. The Homeland Security t-shirt featuring and old photo of Native Americans with guns and the slogan “Homeland Security, Fighting terrorism since 1492″ was pulled from the Colorado History Museum in the past few days.

The museum stated that they don’t see it any more because it is controversial even though it is one of the best selling t-shirts in the store. Following complaints from some that deemed it offensive, it was removed. “The shirt hints to the premise that explorers such as Christopher Columbus were essentially “terrorists” when they invaded a land that had already been occupied. Protesters to the Columbus Day holiday say that Columbus shouldn’t be celebrated for discovering America because Columbus’ “discovery” led to the oppression, degradation and deaths of hundreds of thousands of Native Americans.”
